Question

If a triangle is rotated about the y-axis as shown below, what three-dimensional figure would be formed?

Answer 1

Are there any answer choices?

Answer 2

@AZ
you can take a 'stab' at it if you want lol

Answer 3

btw, if it's rotated 360 degrees 'around' the axis, isn't it just the same?-_-

Answer 4

OHHHHHH
AZ i take it back, i want to do this

Answer 5

Well, when it comes to three dimensional objects, there's not a whole lot. Going through all of them, we know that the only three dimensional shape that can be made from a triangle is either a cone or triangular prism.

Answer 6

I will let ScamTheMan stab it

It would be the same shape but like a different size

i realized i didn't understand the question earlier

Answer 11

@JohnB you still there?

Answer 12

s/he's lurking

Answer 13

anyways, cut out a piece of paper, tape a pencil to it, and wrote the triangle with the pencil still in the middle (this is what our teacher made us do-_-)
and then you'll see clearly what shape it turns into
